If you’re on the hunt for a modern slot game that’s packed with features then you should be sure to check out Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Blackwood. This game by software developer IGT is based on the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie featuring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, who both feature on the reels. There’s multipliers of up to 10x your bet, puzzles to solve and a Blackwood Wheel Bonus to help you gain some great wins.
Theme
The game starts off with a film-esque introduction that outlines the bonuses in this 5 reel, 30 payline slot. You’ll join Holmes and Watson as they try to defeat Lord Blackwood and on the reels you’ll see the 2 main characters along with symbols such as a pocket watch, violin, pipe and bulldog. Tense music plays as you spin the reels, with encouragement from the narrator.
How to Play
In this slot game you’ll find that the scatter symbol is an icon displaying a circle with the word ‘bonus’, and finding 3 of these will trigger the exciting Picker Puzzle bonus feature. The Watson and Holmes symbols are the wilds, which can substitute for any other symbol except the bonus scatter. There’s a Mystery Multiplier bonus, which is randomly triggered during the base game, while the Teamwork bonus can combine the Holmes and Watson symbols together to create bigger wins.
Picker Puzzle
If 3 scatter symbols are found on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels, the Picker Puzzle will be triggered. You’ll be presented with Holmes’ office and you’ll need to choose from 5 objects in order to win cash prizes, multipliers and to trigger extra bonuses.
Blackwood Feature
The Blackwood feature comes into play when 3 or more wheels are found during the Picker Puzzle round. You’ll be able to spin a wheel 10 times, winning cash and multipliers.
The Hunt
This is the most exciting bonus in the Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Blackwood slot and it’s triggered when 3 or 4 maps are found during the Picker Puzzle. You’ll have either 10 or 15 free spins, which are played out on a new screen displaying a map. There are 5 crime scenes on the reels and when either the Holmes or Watson symbol lands on a crime scene it will become a locked wild to help you gain big wins.
